hey bennain!

now i'm convinced to make add a small number of Zuave soldiers to my US/CS?(what nationality are they? i thought i have seen them in both CS and US armies of our fellow customisers)
...so is your Zuave in the US or CS? how do you differnetiate them :?  

if if wasnt against your rules to pain their hats.. do you think the other Turkish cap(blue with gold cord) would be more 'accurate'? (they are moe angular instead of rounder)

you 'sacrisfied' a torso from the northerner-with-suspender-belts to make him?!  :shock:

sorry, too many quesions already  :oops:  :oops:

Hey Cheng,

that’s right. Regiments of the Zuave have served on both sides in the war. I’ve read in a book, that have existed 24 regiments. This Zuave is a member of the US. I will only build a Zuave regiment for the US.  :D

France have build in 1830 a “Corps des Zuaves” in Algeria. Because in Algeria exists a tribe, the “Zuauas”. They have also faught before as a mercenary unit in the ottoman empire.
So you can see that the members of these units came from northern africa.

I think, that the other Turkish cap looks much more better, but I haven’t one. Yes that’s true.

Hello, Bennain ...

Here's a very accurate painting of the 54th Mass. Regt. from the Company of Military Historians.



This is the flag of the 28th Massachusetts Regiment. Since all Regimental Colours were usually the same except for the number of the regiment in the scroll, the 54th's Regimental Colours probably looked very similar to these.
(The flag is white and "yellowed" with age.)




This regimental flag is probably NOT correct for the 54th Mass. Regt. ...




Click on images for more information and also look at the photos from the movie Glory

This flag from the movie Glory is probably correct ...



I hope this helps !

All the best,
Richard

I think that can be possible when we have a chance to meet us. :D

The original klicky is from set 3811, part number 3000574. In the last three weeks I’ve bought total 180 soldiers (110 for the north and 70 for the south)! So, that I have got enough parts for the moment to create regiments!  :D

@Richard
Thanks for the flags, but this doesn’t really help. How many Stars have the flag and have you a better picture from the first state flag? Do you thing this is the correct flag.

Hello, Bennain ...

I apologize for not telling you that every picture that I posted for you is "clickable" with lots more information. If you "click" on the State Flag it shows more pictures and also tells you how many stars the national flag had at the time. The photos from the movie "Glory" also show the white state flag. And, if you look closely at the "Glory" photos, the state seal (emblem) seems to be the same.

What other information do you need regarding the flags, Bennain?

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard,

thanks for answer. I need a file from the first state flag like this (see pic).  Because I've not enough experience with graphic programms to create it by myself. Do you have a good scan?

Now I understand what you want, Bennain!

Krystal is an expert with PhotoShop. If you ask her, she might be able to take the information that we have and create some graphics that you could print for your Playmobil flags.

I'm sure that you must be familar with my friend Ian Croxall's warflag.com website.

All the  best,
Richard
